Ellerslie vs Summerside: South Edmonton's Value Pair, Priced Out

Ellerslie and Summerside are south Edmonton's family-value pair — close in price, different in personality. Their single-family medians are nearly identical ($508,256 vs $504,750), and both have deep condo markets. The difference is the draw: Summerside has Lake Summerside and the faster pace (27 median days); Ellerslie has the volume (285 sales to Summerside's 235) and the deeper condo bench. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Two similar price tags, two different reasons to buy

Ellerslie sells depth. 178 detached sales plus 107 condo sales at a $283,000 median — one of the deepest condo benches in the south, anchored by Ellerslie Road and 91 Street. Its detached stock runs from $334,900 to a $1,725,000 top sale, a wider spread than its family-suburb reputation suggests.

Summerside sells the lake. 174 detached sales and 61 condos at a $292,000 median — a similar shape to Ellerslie, but every home comes with Lake Summerside beach-club access, and that amenity is what buyers pay the small premium in pace for.

Direction and pace: both steady, Summerside quicker

Ellerslie's single-family median rose 2.1% year over year ($498,000 to $508,256); Summerside's eased 1.8% ($514,000 to $504,750). Two steady markets within a few thousand dollars of each other at the median.

Pace separates them: Summerside houses sold in a median of 27 days, Ellerslie's in 38.5. Both sold at about 98% of asking — in Ellerslie you get time to decide; in Summerside, the lake homes in good shape go first.

Which one fits you

Choose Ellerslie if you want selection — the most combined house-and-condo volume in the south at these prices, and a few extra days of breathing room before you commit.

Choose Summerside if the beach club is worth moving faster for: the same detached money as Ellerslie, a slightly higher condo median, and a market that rewards a ready buyer.

How these numbers were worked out

Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026, with the prior-year window November 9, 2024 – November 8, 2025 for the change figures. Counts include single-family and condo property classes only. Medians are true medians of the actual sold records. Any split with fewer than 10 sales shows its count only (the thin rule). Price per square foot is Paragon's sold-price-per-square-foot field (sold price ÷ total floor area as recorded in the MLS®). Sold vs asking divides the sold price by the final list price. Full methodology: Edmonton Housing Data Centre.
